ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Join us for our annual Free Word Lecture, which aims to uphold the ethos of free speech with a focus on the power and politics of words.
Continuing the legacy of the Free Word Centre, an international centre for literature, literacy and free expression, this annual event creates a platform for writers to spark stimulating conversations and challenge our assumptions about the world.
Following in the footsteps of previous speakers Ben Okri and Rana Ayyub, this year’s lecture promises to be another unmissable event exploring the transformative and democratising power of words and the importance of freedom of expression.
